The Rum Ruin.

At Nazareth at this moment, when
a man is drunk, the Mohammedans
point the finger Of scorn at him and
say, "That man is q Christian" We
haze qjrdled tie a0orld Nth q zone
Of drjRk. Our footsteps, wherever
they have traversed the world on
their career of conquest-there is no
blinking the terrible fact-have been
footsteps dyed in blood. We have
deeimated the original populations
] am speaking well within the facts
by drink, and often mainly by the
drink that we have introduced. They
have melted us in many cases like q
line of snow before the sun. We
sometimes talk Of our missions to
the heather as if they were acts of
splendid generosity; look upon
them as tardy acts 70 the most neceS-
sary PREPARATION. We have carried
with us from country to country the
blight and and the curse without the
blessings of our civilization and our
Christianity. The results Of our
mixing with these races, in common
with other European peoples, have
been horrible, and it is high time
that we should now make clear that
the object and mission Of Christian
people is not to destroy their bod
les, but to save their souls. 1t is
high time that beautiful upon the
mountains should be the feet of those
that bring good tidings and that
publish peace. | look upon that as
the great crusade of this generation.
Our fathers went as crusaders to
Palestine to rescue material sepul-
chre, and we have to rescue the liv-
ing temples of, in some respects, HUI
man beings for their Savior and their
Lord. | am sometimes perfectly
appalled, at the callousness of consci-
ence which we still sho' on this sub
iect. At one and the same time we
are deliberately sacrificing hundreds
and thousands of our sens and other
races in every quarter of the globe
to the hideous two-headed MOloch,
of which one head is the head OF
spurious individual liberty, and the
other head is the head of vested in
terests in human ruin. ! do trust,
long as the trouble has been, the vic
tory may come at last. | am quite
sure that when the consciences OF
the English-speaking races is once
thoroughly touched and reused, as
two generations ago it was reused
and realized for the first time-what
a guilt it was that we should use the
arm of freedom to rivet the letters OF
the slave-so they will in time real
ize that it is a still deadlier and still
more ruinous form Of guilt to use
the name and power Of Christian
people to destroy the bodies and the
souls of Canon FdrrGr..

The Trading Rats.

Studies in natural history, calculated
to excite the wonder of young student,
abound in the western regions of
America. l know l was vastly enter
tanned during a trip through Arizona
and New Mexico by my own observa-
ton of the mountain rats, popularity
known there as the Grading rats" /
used to lie awake sometimes in order to
watch their pranks by the light of my
campfire. Their antics and gambols
reminded me of young kittens at play.
They often appeared to be at game of
tag" They look like common rats.
save that they are lighter in color, their
tails shorter and thicker and their
noses less pointed. They live in hollow
trees and among the rocks. But the
very funny thing is that though they are
born thieves, little kleptomaniacs every
one, they always return something in
the place of every article taken away;
and queer thing, too, is the fact that
they rarely steal articles of food. One
night felt slight stir about my head.
Cautiously opening my eyes, saw one
of these rats Juggling manfully at my
saddle, which | was using as pillow.
As the saddle was one of the California
style and weighed about thirty pounds,
the efforts of the little rascal seemed to
be very ambitious for an animal of his
size. They take away cartridges, knives
and forks, or anything else they can
carry. | have been told by an old pros
pector that he had whole outfit of
such things "rustled " q. e.. stolen) in
one night, and that various articles
were returned in their place. Articles
taken from one place have been found
in shanty twenty miles distant. l
met one day at a railway station an old
ranchman who lived at least twenty
miles from the road, and, CHANGING to
speak of these rats, he said: 81 found
in my shach the other day quite a
collection of spoons, forks and knives
hid under pile of rubbish that had
been brought there by the little thieves.
Where they came from l don't know,
but do know that they carried off, in
turn, whole box of 1915 Winchester
cartridges" l laughed and replied,
Well, have your cartridges, and you
probably have my spoons, for out of
dozen | have only two left. And as
the cartridges will not fit my Sharps
1910 they are of no use to me, so if
you will bring the spoons to Films
store III see that the cartridges are
left there, and you can get them"
The exchange was effected in the course
of few days, and the spoons proved
to be mine and the cartridges his
| Presbyterian.

A reputation" replied Mr.. Aubrey,
turning to Uncle Johns wife, which
Mrs. Harris will agree with me in being
happy to enjoy"
If this remark did not win Uncle
John over, the following one did, in
which he asserted, with fond glance
at his afianced, - shall be proud to
prove that my future wife is not of the
wax-doll order"
"By which you infer" said Lily,
roguishly, " that l endure a great deal
of sun without melting"
Or fading, either" came from Uncle
John, in bantering suggestion of her
increasingly rosy color.
But Lilly protested that his remarks
were altogether too personal, and APP
pealed to Aunt Ems opinion on the
subject, which conceded with her own.
Whereupon he offered the resolution
that "as she had heretofore shown
such good judgment, her decisions
should be endorsed in matters matrimo-
NAL, and he hoped she would not prove
tiger-lily in temper in her new rela-
tions any more than she had copied its
color in the past"
Mamma understood the double appli-
cation of his raillery, and acknowledged
it with one of her quiet smiles.
"That fashionable color our city
girls endeavor to cultivate as proof of
the extent of their rustcation," OBJ
served Mr.. Aubrey, but which | fail
to admire in its deepest shades. My
summers souvenir will not be so evan
escent, and assured on that point, no
other possibilities will alarm me-"
This last graceful remark must have
been intended for mammals ears, as
the two other ladies were admiring
Lily's fine chrysanthemum collection
and comparing notes on flowers in gen
eral with so much enthusiasm they
were unaware of having an audience
till CHEEKY voice behind them was
heard to say: Pomona is 10th to re-
sign her sceptre. The maiden is lost
in the gardener. "-Eldne II. Mosco,ut,
